I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

===065. Believe in Science===

Lu Bian thought about it.

Hesitant to speak.

If Drizzt was told that his sanity had become zero and he was still standing in front of him, would this man suddenly take a shot at him?

Although Lu Bian knew that he was very ordinary, very normal, and didn't look like an irrational person at all, but this would make him fall into a vicious circle similar to Tacitus' trap.

If a mentally ill says he is not sick, then he must be sick, because mentally ill cannot recognize that he is sick.

If a mentally ill person says that he is sick, then he knows himself very clearly, and he is indeed sick.

"Let's think about how to get out of this fog first. I don't want to miss the wedding."

Drizzt saw that Lu Bian did not say a word, thinking that he was surprised by the truth of this quiet place, and was regretting choosing the [Erosion] difficulty, so he tried to adjust the atmosphere.

"If you follow this road, there is a great possibility that you will go back to the original place. Those guys said that you can go to Dry Water Town along the road, but they are actually trying to trap us, so we can't follow the road, but there is currently no Any sign, how to get out..."

Hearing Drizzt's words, Lu Bian thought for a while.

He stood up, came to the front of the carriage, and sat beside Drizzt, with [Last Words] in his hand.

From Drizzt's point of view, Lu Jian had not changed.

The odd man just opened his mouth.

There seemed to be some kind of sound coming out of Lu Kian's mouth, but Drizzt couldn't hear it.

However, in Lu Bian's perception, the ultrasonic waves he repeated in his mouth were spreading in all directions. These ultrasonic waves were reflected back when they touched the buildings, trees, and stones of the abandoned village. According to the sequence of these echoes, Lu Bian roughly formed this area. map.

"Believe in science."

Lu Bian sighed with emotion, then took out the banknotes from his bag and drew them briefly.

"There is indeed a problem with this road. It looks straight, but it is actually a circular line. If you keep walking along it, you will only reach the starting point. These stone statues are actually facing the center of the circle."

Hearing this, Drizzt thought of words such as altar, ritual, etc. He looked at Lu Kian's paper.

"...It's so ugly, can't you draw it more normally?"

The crooked picture was like a child's doodle, and there was no real shape at all.

However, Drizzt can also see that they have been walking on this ring, and if they want to go to Dry Water Town, they must deviate from the current road.

"Do you know where to go?"

Being in a place of silence, Drizzt also knew that the Chosen One could more or less involve transcendence, as he himself was, so he didn't ask Lu Han what skills he used just now.

"Probably from here, two roads diverge from here, and they should be leaving."

Lu Bian circled a dot on the map he drew.

"...I don't know where it is."

Drizzt was a little embarrassed, too abstract.

"I'll show you the way."

Lu Bian was full of confidence.

He continued to open his mouth, and there seemed to be some sound coming out of his mouth, but it didn't come out completely.

After a while, Lu Bian pointed in one direction.

"This way."

Drizzt could only rely on Lu Ban at the moment, and he drove the reins, causing the carriage to move to one side.

The wheels ran over the grass, and the two were able to see the dilapidated villages and towns by the roadside.

The buildings were covered with moss, as if they had been hit by the flood, and the buildings were empty and had long since been looted.

On the walls of the few houses where the original structure of the building can be seen, the mottled traces have long been soaked into the walls and are indelible.

The carriage was moving slowly, and Drizzt was worried that a wall or a cliff would suddenly appear in front of him, but Lu Kian clearly didn't care and guided him forward in a strange line.

Time passed, and the cold and damp mist stuck to the skin of the two of them like some kind of creature. It was unknown whether it was the cold sweat caused by the tension or the water droplets caused by the sea fog. The clothes of the two people were soaked quickly.

Finally, Drizzt saw a street sign with the words "Dry Water Town" written in slanted text. The two couldn't tell the difference, but A Quiet Place might have helped translate it, and they could read it.

Drizzt's heart finally sank as the wheels rolled on the gravel road again.

The surrounding fog became thinner, and he could gradually see grass, trees, and two moons hanging high in the sky.

"If the double moon in the Kingdom of Night turns red, it will be the most terrifying blood moon. I once heard a traveler who has experienced more than a dozen missions say that when the blood moon comes, the black forest will be like a living creature. Devour everything."

Drizzt said with emotion.

The lights were faintly visible in front of them. Although it might not be Dry Water Town, it at least meant that they had left the foggy range.

He couldn't help but look back at the thick fog.

But at this moment, Drizzt was stunned.

Because he saw that the dense fog was like a giant beast, entrenched on the ground, and the swirling airflow was connected to the clouds, like a storm.

I was walking through this storm just now.

"so close......"

He couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The carriage moved forward, and soon came to a populated area. The high lights were scattered, illuminating the road. The houses on the side of the road were obviously inhabited. There was a faint light inside, but the windows were closed.

Drizzt looked at the houses, and suddenly he noticed that behind the window, a pair of eyes were staring at him.

Subconsciously touching the gun, he held down the grip and saw clearly that it was a woman with a numb expression, standing behind the window, staring straight at him.

Not only that, Drizzt swept around, and behind every window, more or less people were watching them.

These people look no different from ordinary people, except that their skin is darker and their bodies are slightly leaner, just like fishermen. Their eyes are full of alertness, suspicion, resistance, and resistance to the arrival of foreigners.

"This house is the largest. It may be the village chief. Let's ask."

When Lu Bian saw the largest house, he immediately jumped out of the carriage.

"Hey, wait...forget it."

Drizzt didn't stop Lu Tian, ​​he could only pull on the reins and stop the carriage.

He originally thought that he should be cautious, make plans before moving, and be careful not to trigger any additional danger on the [Erosion] difficulty.

But this Lu Bian feels that he is not afraid of death at all, and he likes to do it very much!

He saw Lu Bian knock on the door first.

no respond.

"Is anyone there? I see someone, don't hide."

Lu Bian said loudly again, knocking harder on the door.

Still no response.

"These people probably don't want to see us. Follow the road signs and follow this road to Dry Water Town. There's no need to bother..."

Drizzt was not finished yet.

He saw Lu Bian pick up the crowbar in his hand, and skillfully pried open the door of the room with ease.

"There is indeed someone!"

Lu Bing said excitedly.

===066. I didn't threaten them (begging for a monthly pass at the fifth watch!) ===

After prying open the door, Lu Bian saw that there were two people standing in the room, a man and a woman, wearing commoner clothes, with numb expressions. From the time Lu Bian came in, their eyes were fixed on him vigilantly.

"Hello, I want to ask how to get to Dry Water Town?"

Lu Bian briefly glanced around the house. Although it was the largest house in the village, it still looked cramped and cramped. Except for a wooden bed, a table, two chairs, a kitchen table, and a cabinet, there was nothing decent. .

"Dry Water Town...over there, go straight along the road."

The man replied with a gloomy face, he was a little scared and a little angry, and pointed to the road.

"I think you don't seem to welcome us. Is it because we are going to Dry Water Town?"

Lu Bian asked again, and at the same time approached the kitchen counter and looked at the things on it.

Sun-dried fish, flour, rice, etc.

"Dry Water Town, it's unlucky..."

The man hesitated to speak, and he saw Lu Bian pick up the salted fish hanging in front of the kitchen counter.

"I'm a little hungry now. Can I eat some of your dried salted fish? I see that you have hung up a lot here. This kind of dried fish can't be kept for too long. When I got here, it can be considered a fate with you, why don't I take some dried salted fish for you and go, it can be considered a good deed."

With that said, Lu Bian took down three of the dried salted fish and stuffed them into his bag.

"..."

The man looked at the crowbar in Lu Bian's hand and hesitated.

"These garlics will sprout even if you don't eat them, and the onions won't last long. There's also salt. There's been a lot of fog recently, and they're all damp. For your health, I'll help you get rid of them."

Lu Bian took some garlic, green onions, kelp, a handful of salt, and finally, some rice.

"By the way, do you know the Black Queen Mother?"

He skillfully put the ingredients into the bag and asked casually.

Hearing this word, the expressions on the faces of the men and women finally changed, from the insensitive and rigid, to suddenly panic, fear, and awe.

"Don't dare to know, dare not know..."

The man muttered and took a few steps back.

"Don't you dare to know? That means you know?"

Lu Bian took two steps forward.
