Chapter 358 - 358. Forbidden Area
Chapter 358 - 358. Forbidden Area
In the morning, they all prepared to head to the place where the gate connecting Kanca City to the human race was located.
Their previous confusion about Fu Xie Lan's next destination had been cleared. They will go to Vampire territory after visiting the forbidden area in the City.
Last night, when they were at an inn not far from the center of Kanca City, they all chatted before resting in their respective rooms. And at that time, Fu Xie Lan explained her plan to them
So that they look of confusion and curiosity that filled the four of them yesterday was no longer seen this morning.
Everyone seemed calm and just followed where Elder Huang Bao took them, without asking any questions.
Fu Xie Lan and the others moved as fast as they could in the air. Using mana in the current Kanca city is no longer a prohibition. It seems that the people down there are still busy helping the restoration of the center of Kanca City.
Flying across the chaos area, their movements didn't slow down in the slightest.
Until it reaches a place that may be similar to an ocarina. The inns are neatly lined up but have a big difference from the others.
The place they were in was so dreary and unkempt. The inn is weathered, some even have some of the roofs collapsed. Not a single creature entered the girl's violet eyes.
Quiet and very quiet.
Moss was growing everywhere and dry leaves were scattered as far as the eye could see, not only that, almost knee-high grass also filled the road in front of them.
Only the sound of the wind and footsteps breaking the dry leaves filled the silence.
Cobwebs also filled every wall and tree on their left and right.
Anyone can judge, that this place will be very scary if at night.
BBRAAKKKK
Fu Xie Lan and the others' reflexes flinched in surprise and turned to the source of the voice. The inn to their left instantly collapsed.
"What are you doing?!" Wan Lie snapped at Xue Ning. He saw that the girl was shooting a blue mana ball at the rotting building that had just collapsed.
Hearing the man's voice, everyone turned around and looked at Xue Ning.
"I-I was just curious, so I gave it a try. I didn't think the building would collapse," stuttered Xue Ning feeling guilty for her fad.
"Tch, look around you. And stop doing useless things," Wan Lie replied lowering his voice from before
"A-alright."
Fu Xie Lan who noticed that only took a deep breath then returned her focus to the road she was about to take. Ignoring the two figures who were always making a fuss.
Using the fairy mana in her body, she managed to clear the path they were about to walk from the weeds.
"Teacher, is it true that no one is guarding this place?" asked Fu Xie Lan turning for a moment towards her Master, Elder Huang Bao.
"It is true. Guards will only roam at the end of this footpath," replied Elder Huang Bao as he pointed towards behind them.
"So, that even without guard, people can tell if someone is visiting this place."
"And those who do so will receive the death penalty, even if unintentionally. Because all the races in Kanca City condemn the existence of the human race. None of them like that race."
"So if someone is found in this place, then anyone who sees it, most will think that the person is in cahoots with humans and just returned or is about to head to the area, so those who find them immediately take anger out on that figure. Fortunately to die on the spot. If not, then he will receive torture first from the City Master before receiving the death penalty," Elder Huang Bao explained at length.
"Eh? But I didn't see anyone before entering this place, Elder," Xue Ning interrupted.
"That's because of what happened in the city center. Everyone's attention was focused on the chaos. So neglecting this place," replied the old man.
"Let's just say we are taking advantage of the conditions in the city center," he added again, making Xue Ning nod in understanding. As well as the others.
As for Fu Xie Lan, the girl was silent. Until they arrived in front of a very large gate, with shades of gold that filled both sides, the lion's head carving was depicted right in the middle of the door. Even the color in some parts has faded.
Cobwebs are also seen filling the door.
Standing still in her position, Fu Xie Lan paid attention to every detail of the door in front of her.
"Did you find anything, kid?" asked Elder Huang Bao when he saw his disciple just standing still.
Fu Xie Lan slowly touched the gate, and suddenly a sting hit her entire body causing the girl to stumble backward.
"Hmm, I've said before that this door is protected by magic, kid. Why did you touch it?" said Elder Huang Bao very gently.
"Maybe they didn't go through this gate," he said again.
Everyone fell silent hearing the old man's words.
"That means they entered another path?" Xue Ning chirped in the silence of everyone.
"If that's the case, then someone can help with their movement," Ju Xian added after analyzing everything that had happened.
"It turns out that it's not only the black magicians we're dealing with right now but also someone who does belong to other race. It's not just one, but there are several people," Xue Ning said again.
What the two figures said was the same thing that filled Fu Xie Lan's head the other day. However, before being completely sure of her thoughts, she needed to examine some of the possibilities that could happen.
"But who do you think is in a relationship with the black witch in this town?" Xue Ning asked again.
"Not an ordinary resident. And of course, she already knows the ins and outs of this City, even from the side of the City's security," Ju Xian chimed in.
"They are not new people, but have been around this city for a very long time," he added.
All the assumptions that arise in their minds, just spit out without worrying that anyone will hear them.
Fu Xie Lan was still silent without the slightest sound, her eyes unmoved from the gate in front of her.
Suddenly her brow furrowed, something odd entered her violet eyes.
Of all the cobwebs that filled each side of the gate, why did the cobwebs that filled the middle of the door appear to be crushed? Like someone broke it recently.
Fu Xie Lan's body suddenly stiffened, she had encountered a scene like this in her previous life while on a mission, no, not only in that life, but it could happen anywhere.
A broken cobweb in the middle of the door indicates that someone has opened the door, and it happened recently.
Fu Xie Lan believed that.
