In the quiet evening, inside the meeting hall of Chenxi Village.
Everyone who had just finished dinner was discussing their departure to Moon Shadow Valley tomorrow.
Ivan has decided to set off with Captain Murphy and his team: his strength has been recognized by all members of the team led by Saloras and Oresesi - on the training ground.
"The three confinement beacons have been completed. What we need to do now is to place the three confinement beacons and the three restraint beacons in Moon Shadow Valley!" Orese held a crystal wine glass and tasted the contents in the glass. Mead.
Saloras also added: "The power of the six beacons is enough to re-seal the three Naaru fragments. It's time to end this storm!"
Captain Murphy also raised his glass: "Cheers to the success of our operation tomorrow!"
The nine people's wine glasses clinked together, and everyone hoped that tomorrow would be smooth sailing.
Silent night.
Ivan was lying on the bed looking out the window: Whether we can temporarily protect Chenxi Village depends on tomorrow!
The Dawn Sword hanging on the wall swayed slightly in the night wind, seeming to respond to Ivan's mood.
…
The sunlight filtered in through the window as usual: Alvin had already dressed and carried the Dawn Sword on his back: he had to go to the garrison early to change into protective gear and then have breakfast.
Putting on the standard protective armor of the garrison, Ivan walked into the house holding his helmet: Captain Murphy and the twin sisters Ereda were already dining there: "Good morning, everyone!" Ivan said hello with a smile.
Captain Murphy nodded and motioned for Alvin to sit next to him: "Time is still scarce, otherwise I can custom-make a set of armor for you!"
Ivan picked up the knife and fork and said with a smile: "I have enough clothes now. I'm afraid I'm just going for an outing this time. Of course, the ones handling the matter are the respected Ms. Saloras and Oreses!"
Aurese played with the fruit salad on the plate: "I also hope to complete the task and return to the Moon Palace as soon as possible. My research progress has been delayed for too long here!"
Today's breakfast was cooked very carefully by Cook. Considering that several people required a lot of energy to perform tasks, the breakfast was relatively greasy, but relying on Cook's cooking skills, it obviously tasted good!
Everyone arrived one after another. Minara still put on her priest's robe, looking very holy, while Oliver, Lawson, Green and Brewster all put on their own combat equipment.
A few people chatted and finished breakfast. When everyone finished eating, Captain Murphy stood up: "Everyone, it's time for us to set off. May the Holy Light be with us!"
Aiwen and his team were walking on the road in the village. Wendy still got up very early. She was collecting wild flowers that had just bloomed in the early morning.
"Brother Alvin, where are you going to play?" Wendy shouted while sitting on the roadside.
"There are bad things outside the village, let's go and fight them off!" Ivan said with a smile.
"Wendy, we are not in the village today, can you protect the villagers?" Captain Murphy asked.
"Wendy will work hard to protect the village! Go quickly!" Wendy could no longer hold the flowers in her hand. She picked a few and handed them to Alvin: "This is for you!"
Ivan inserted wild flowers into the seams of the armor: "Let's go, everyone!"
Under the shining of the morning sun, Aiwen and his team moved towards Moon Shadow Valley.
…
After half a day, Ivan and the others reached the outskirts of Moon Shadow Valley.
The bright sunshine seems to have nothing to do with this place. The once dense trees are still standing, but the branches and leaves have long since dried up: they have long lost their vitality.
Several people rested in place for a while. Brewster, the only spellbreaker in the team, looked at the time: "In order to complete the task faster, why don't we act separately!"
Saloras thought for a while and finally agreed to the decision. According to everyone's ideas: Alvin, Priest Minara and Captain Murphy were in a group, Saloras and Sister Orese were in a group, and the remaining Oliver, Lawson, Green and Brewster were divided into another group.
Orese took out the two imprisonment beacons from her storage bracelet and cast a spell on them.
A faint arcane rune floated on the surface of the beacon: "Okay, I have placed arcane marks on these two beacons. Each of your two groups will carry one beacon. After arriving at the location of the original beacon, Completely clear out the original corrupted beacons, install the new confinement beacons, and then remove the arcane marks I put on them. Let me know that you have completed the beacon placement work. Only three beacons have been placed. Only then can I cast the confinement magic, otherwise the confinement effect will not be as expected. "
Brewster touched the confinement beacon with both hands, and with a flash of light, the confinement beacon on the ground disappeared: as a spellbreaker, it is not surprising that he has several magic props on his body!
Alvin looked at Murphy and Minara, hoping that the two of them could also store the beacons on the ground.
"Ahem... I originally had a storage ring, but I didn't bring it here..." Captain Murphy pretended to say. Minara's face turned red, and Alvin also reacted: he walked to the road sign. Picked it up with one hand: It's still a little heavy!
"Remember, all teams must gather near the Moon Shadow Valley cave after placing the beacons!" Saloras reminded.
The team then divided into three groups and set off...
The signpost that Ivan and the others are going to replace is located in the southeast of Moon Shadow Valley, and the distance is not very far.
…
The three of them lined up in a queue, with Aiwen walking at the front. He put the Dawn Sword in its scabbard and carried it behind his back. He held the imprisonment sign in his left hand and explored the dense grass with a wooden stick picked up from nowhere in his right hand. road.
The grass on the ground was not as green as usual, but a disgusting gray color with a strange stench.
"Ahem...Captain Murphy, are you pointing the right way?" Ivan worked hard to separate the weeds and turned back to Murphy who was looking at the map.
The last one was Priest Minara. It was not easy for her to move around in her robe, and it was even more difficult for her to move in the grass. She also looked at Murphy in front of her with resentful eyes.
"Believe me, everyone! I'm sure we are moving in the right direction!" Captain Murphy looked at the picture carefully again: "Evan, move a little to the left, we should be there soon!"
Ivan could only do what Captain Murphy said, turn left and walk for a while, but the grass became thicker and the stench in the air became more and more disgusting!
As Ivan walked forward, he turned back and asked Murphy: "Captain, are you sure this is the right direction? I feel like we won't be able to get there until night..."
Captain Murphy is still very sure: "I was the one who installed the signposts here, and the specific locations are recorded on the map. There is no way there can be any mistakes!"
Seeing that he was so sure, Alvin and Minara could only move forward as Murphy said.
After walking for a while, the stench in the air was already suffocating. Priest Minara could only cast a thin light shield on everyone to isolate the stench.
Ivan is still at the front: "This pile of broken grass will be burned when I come back!... Damn it..."
Ivan lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. Captain Murphy hurriedly helped him up, but both of them looked up and stared blankly ahead.
