I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"Go back?"

Drizzt was startled, let go of the reins, and took up the lantern to shine.

This stone statue was undoubtedly the same as what they had seen before.

"Or, there will be many similar stone statues on the road to confuse people?"

He illuminated the stone statue, and there was a gap in the head of the strange, religious stone statue.

That gap was exactly the piece that Lu Bian's crowbar knocked down.

"..."

Both were silent.

"I originally thought what would happen at the wedding, but now it seems that it is very difficult to participate in the wedding in Dry Water Town."

Drizzt sighed.

"At least we weren't attacked."

Lu Bian added.

As soon as he finished speaking, Drizzt saw that there seemed to be a figure behind the stone statue.

The figure was no different from a normal person, but there were still deep wrinkles on his face, and his eyes protruded like a fish.

He wore only a single shirt on his upper body, revealing a dark and sturdy body. This was not the kind of muscles built by bodybuilding, but a figure that really repeated the work day after day.

The man stood behind the stone statue, looking straight at the carriage, at Lujing, and at Drizzt.

"Do you know how to get to Dry Water Town?"

Lu Bian immediately asked.

"Dry, water, town, go, go."

The man pointed to the front, in the dark fog.

His voice stopped word by word, like a jammed repeater.

[Last Words] appeared in Lu Jian's hand. He listened carefully, but still didn't hear the other party's heartbeat.

After thinking about it, Lu Han picked up the crowbar and got off the carriage.

"Hey, be careful."

Drizzt reminded.

Stepping on the hard and cold stone road, the bone-chilling chill seemed to be transmitted through the shoes. Lu Bian took a flashlight and came to the stone statue. Sha, Lu Bian didn't come very close, and one hand still grabbed the rope on the horse's body.

"We're going to Dry Water Town."

Lu Bian repeated.

"Dry, water, town, go, go."

The man repeated.

"Which way should we go?"

Lu Bian asked again.

"Go, this, this, the road."

The man pointed to the gravel road under his feet.

"No, we are going to Dry Water Town, and this road will only turn back."

Lu Bian said something.

"Dry, water, town, go, go."

The man repeated persistently.

"Can this road really lead to Dry Water Town?"

Lu Bian confirmed it again.

"Go, this, this, the road."

The man said blankly.

"..."

Lu Bian looked back at Drizzt, and he was helpless too.

After thinking about it, Lu Bian began to ask.

"How to get to Erxian Bridge?"

The man was stunned for a while, then pointed to the gravel road underground.

"Go, this, this, the road."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Bian was already very clear.

This person, or the people in these fogs, probably only has some simple reactions, and has no own cognition and intelligence at all.

In other words, it is not certain whether these people are still alive or not.

Lu Bian flashed a flashlight on the man's face, and it was very rude to change it to an ordinary person, but the other party didn't respond and just stood there blankly.

Lu Bian raised the crowbar and slowly poked it towards the opponent's shoulder.

Just as the crowbar was about to touch the man's shoulder, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Lu Bian's crowbar.

That's not this man's hand.

Looking to the side along the scrawny arm, Lu Bian saw that it was another person who looked different from the former, but had the same big eyes and a wrinkled face.

The light of the flashlight shone back, and Lu Bian saw that behind the two people, there were more people just like them.

These people were standing here as if they had been standing here since ancient times, not moving at all, only staring at Lu Kang with those huge protruding eyes.

Perhaps, when the previous coachman got out of the car to urinate, when Lu Bian and Drizzt observed in front of the stone statue, when the carriage was driving in this dark and silent night, on the side of the road, in the broken walls of those buildings Inside, on the grass and graves, in the thick fog that could not be seen through, these people stood quietly in the same place, staring at them.

"Come back soon."

Drizzt gave a cry, his revolver ready to fire.

His vision was blurry. This scene was undoubtedly creepy. It was similar to humans, but it was not human at all. The dense mass of things made Drizzt feel dizzy. Only the coldness of the metal in his hand calmed him down a little. .

Without checking, Drizzt's sanity must have been reduced by at least three points.

"and many more."

Lu Bian took a half step back, and he could see that some people were hidden by the fog and disappeared from sight.

He looked at the man in front of him. These guys didn't have the thought of going forward into the light, and still stood there.

"Do you know the Black Queen Mother?"

Lu Bian asked.

Hearing Lu Bian's words, everyone's eyes twitched and turned to Lu Bian.

"Black, king, mother."

Their voices came and went, one after another.

Immediately, the first person had an expression on his face for the first time.

That is fear.

Lu Bian saw that his facial features were distorted, showing fear, awe, and panic.

"what......"

The man let out a whimper, and then stepped back as if avoiding Lu Han.

Several people made the same sound, and gradually retreated, disappearing into the fog.

"Black Queen Mother?"

Drizzt didn't seem to have heard the term.

"Do you know [the Black Queen Mother's Statue of Mercy]?"

Lu Bian returned to the car and asked.

Drizzt shook his head.

"This seems to be a religious belief in some areas of the Kingdom of Night, or in the vicinity of Dry Water Town. It is an evil religion and may have a tradition of sacrificing living people."

Lu Bian explained the information he obtained from the [Black Queen Mother's Statue of Mercy].

"Oh, this kind of enemy is not uncommon in the Quiet Land... Wait, this is your first time in the Kingdom of Night, how do you know this, don't you..."

Drizzt looked Lu Han up and down.

"Have you used [Madman's Knowledge]?"

"Well, for this mission, I used it twice, so I know some mission-related knowledge."

Lu Bian nodded.

"...Twice, no, this time for a mission?"

Drizzt had a strange look in his eyes.

"[The Madman's Knowledge] Although it is possible to obtain exotic knowledge, including task content and some extraordinary information, it is more maddening knowledge. The knowledge that humans cannot understand is just a kind of pollution... .."

He was a little embarrassed.

"I used to be ignorant. I used [Knowledge of a Madman] once, and the result..."

Drizzt seemed to have a fresh memory of the experience at that time and was reluctant to mention it too much.

"You have used [Knowledge of Madman] twice, you should have been contaminated to a certain extent, be careful, if your sanity is lowered to a certain level, it may be eroded, or even alienated into a monster..."

"How do you think the difficulty of these tasks comes from? Ordinary people are exposed to forbidden knowledge, they are polluted, their reason is eroded, and then they become alienated and become monsters..."

"The difficulty of the task is the limit to which the Chosen One may fall in this task."
