Chapter 34 Process
"Bang bang bang", the light drum sound was mixed with crisp ringtones, the organ played a cheerful melody, and an attractive fragrance floated out of the fire. Several outgoing female members of the caravan hummed light tunes and took small steps to divide the tableware into everyone's hands. As their bodies turned, the fragrance was gushing, and the gorgeous dresses were not affected by the cold weather at all.
Even if you freeze to death, you must be beautiful! This is Lint's persistence. Well, this is the persistence shared by female intelligent creatures all over the world.
In the afternoon, after a simple exchange, things finally became clear. The coincidences made everyone sigh at the magic of fate.
No one knows how the ghost space exploded, but the gathering between them is not far away. At most, three teams, more than ten kilometers apart, were brought closer to the ghost space at a certain point before and after the banquet the night before yesterday.
Maybe everyone had already fallen asleep by then, maybe some teams were still busy sorting out the camp and cleaning up the mess, maybe some knights were still rolling together and didn't know what they were doing, but no one noticed the abnormality in themselves and around them.
Until the next day, yesterday, it was just dawn. The caravans had a banquet last night and had already cleaned up the mess at night, but they must have had more work this morning than usual, so they got up earlier than usual.
So early in the morning, everyone was in the dark and prepared to start sorting out their personal belongings, and then continued the journey of the day. The whole team was very lively, and everyone was very busy. Although they had not started loading the car, it was still very hard to sort out the tent and put each item as they were used to to load the car. Even the pampered Earl Merck was cleaning the treasured jade decorations he showed to everyone last night while he was drunk.
The children were also very busy. The three children gathered together and cried to find the toys they lost last night. Obviously, they had a lot of fun last night and the children fell asleep unknowingly. No one remembered throwing the toys where they were in a daze. They could only wipe their tears in the kind laughter of a group of adults and searching for their treasures everywhere.
Of course, they found it. When the adults finally packed everything and were about to start loading the car, the children finally found their beloved toys under the long dining table in the already refreshing and tidy main banquet hall.
So, as the three overjoyed children rushed towards their toys and held them in their arms, the entire camp was shocked. Even the children were stunned and burst into tears at a loss.
Because everyone suddenly realized that they had been in vain all night and morning, and in an instant, the camp turned back to the appearance of the banquet that was halfway through last night.
Tableware and wine bottles were scattered crookedly on the table, tables and chairs standing and lying down everywhere on the ground, boxes of food were placed in the open air, and even debris such as bedding were restored to what they had not cleaned up last night.
What's even more terrifying is that it's dark again.
It was clear that the sky was still slightly bright the moment before, and although the sun had not risen, things could be seen clearly around. However, the next moment, the sky fell into darkness again, and the silver moonlight shone on the wilderness, and the cold light made people tremble all over. The fire in the middle of the camp was not exhausted, and the faint flames were still jumping, struggling to emit the last light and heat.
Look at the sky and then the fire. Now it’s time to get around two o’clock at night. That is to say, everyone goes to bed after the banquet, but only two hours have passed. It’s impossible for the sky to be bright, and it’s impossible for everyone to get up and work in high spirits.
Did we just sleepwalking?
At this time, the people in the Chamber of Commerce remembered to observe themselves, and then they were surprised to find that all the clothes and items that had just changed into their bodies disappeared collectively. When they ran back to the tent, they saw that the clothes were lying quietly where they were last night. However, the clothes they changed this morning completely disappeared. There was nothing on their bodies, there was no package, and there was nowhere to be found. It seemed that they had already gone to another space, so many people were only wearing underwear and stood awkwardly in the cold wind.
Before people could recall the smell, the children's crying sounded across the sky. The three children ran out with a terrifying look on their faces and crawled into their parents' arms and shivered. After explanation, the adults realized that after these children picked up the toys, they suddenly found that all the toys appeared in place again, and what they were holding was just a ball of air. The strange changes really scared the children. After they were stunned for a long time, they remembered to cry loudly.
The sudden appearance of the children reminded the adults that they should count the number of people first and see if there were few people. After a simple count, they found that someone was really missing. A businessman from the chamber of commerce had just greeted a friend and said he wanted to solve the private problem, so he ran to the edge of the camp for convenience. As a result, he has not returned yet and he can't be found anywhere.
All changes were beyond the scope of normal people's understanding. From the leading nobles and captains to the caravans' transport laborers, and even the mercenary guards outside the sequence of the two, they were all in panic. The parents held their children and didn't care whether they were underwear or not. Everyone gathered together, protected by the guards in the inner circle, waiting nervously.
Even they themselves didn't know what they were waiting for. They were just at a loss after their changes and were confused to expect further changes so that everyone could understand what was going on. If nothing unexpected happened, they would probably have to panic for a long time before they could tentatively reorganize the camp and then quickly escape in confusion.
Fortunately, an accident happened.
After only ten minutes, five figures appeared out of thin air from the edge of the crowd. Fortunately, when the figures appeared, the crowd was far away from the banquet venue, so there was no bloody incident.
Of course, Malin and three knights appeared, and one of them was the missing members of the caravan.
This poor guy probably will never forget the experience of this day in his life. He was still joking with his friends and companions the moment before, but when he just solved his personal problem, he came back and saw that everyone disappeared, leaving only an empty camp.
It's really a ghost.
The poor businessman was almost frightened by the sudden change and ran around the camp frantically, trying to find others, hoping that this was just a joke between his companions, but he ran all over the corner of the camp and did not find a companion.
At this time, he remained at the minimum calm and barely lit fireworks for help in the camp. He curled up pitifully by the fire and shivered. The abandoned loneliness and the fear brought by the strangeness kept tangling around him, allowing this poor guy to imagine countless terrifying scenes.
What's even more terrifying is that a sneaky sound suddenly came outside the camp. He was already oppressed by fear and lost his mind, but he heard a sneaky sound. The poor guy had forgotten his purpose of lighting the fire. He was like a rabbit caught in the arrow, and he got into the pile of goods, covering his head and daring to come out.
In fact, it was the footsteps made by Linda when she came to check the situation. Unfortunately, this guy didn't know, or luckily this guy didn't know, and Linda just walked around the empty camp and left quickly, unwilling to stay in this strange camp for a long time, which led to the passing of both sides.
I didn't know how long I had been hiding with my head in my arms, but the heavy sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in my ears.
For him, the sound of horse hooves that were open and unconcealed at this time was much more friendly than the footsteps that were tiptoed, at least he dared to stick his head out and look outward to observe the source of the sound.
Knight? Is it a knight?
The reputation of the knight is not particularly reliable in Pavattiga, but it is definitely not bad, especially such knights who are fully equipped and look very powerful. At least they are very rich and will not be robbers who kill and rob. In this situation, the strange knight is already the most trustworthy person he can think of, so he ran out immediately and cried and asked the knights for help.
The knights must be Malin and her companions. She was originally going to investigate the situation, so she was naturally overjoyed at the appearance of the merchant. After asking about the general situation, she asked the abandoned merchants to take them and inspect the camp quickly.
The inspections came to an abrupt end when the banquet venue was in the air.
In the tent in the middle, Yan Xin accidentally kicked the wooden sword that was bulging from the bottom of the table, and then drove the entire toy pile. So, in the originally silent camp, they suddenly heard a lot of faint sounds. When they walked out of the camp, they saw hundreds of people staring at each other blankly, and no one could speak for a moment.
With that poor middleman as a communication bridge, the two sides quickly put down their guard, at least on the surface, and began to communicate with each other. After understanding the general context of the matter, although Malian didn't know what happened, her keen instinct made her realize at the first time that the toys that were touched in the end were probably the key to the matter.
The trumpet was blowing, but the regiment commander Dark could not be contacted. He sent someone to explore the parasite camp. He saw only the empty camp. What was even more terrifying was that when the Wind Wolf Knight was sent back the same way to find Dark and the convoy, the Wind Wolf ran all the way and ran back to the camping place last night, but found a carriage that had not moved in the camp.
Now, Marlin already knew that there was a big trouble, so she made the wisest decision, which was to force everyone, including hundreds of people in the caravan, to no one was allowed to approach the banquet area, and to absolutely no one was allowed to touch the pile of weird toys.
