Chapter 24 - Black Miasma Forest

…………

The nights at the Vermillion Shelter were peaceful. Karen did not tell the Red Dragon Queen that their home had been invaded, but Alextasa returned here and smelled the smell left after the dark magic burned the land.

The Swoo-Bindinger of Life did not interrogate too much, but chose to patrol alone to see if the dragon eggs were safe. The children who were lying on the ground and not yet born allowed her tense nerves to soothe. She began to think about what happened next. Death Wings escaped, for the time being. The Destroyer's poisoning of this world would not be just a twilight highland. Where is his next goal? Alextsa looked at the shelter under the moonlight with concern. She could not stay here too much. She had to return to the Dragon Sleeping Temple and agreed with other guardians how to defeat Death Wings as soon as possible.

"Annoy your thoughts, Queen."

Alextasa turned around and saw her kind Christassa standing in front of her.

"What's the matter?"

"I heard Karen say you were injured, you..."

"Thank you." The Red Dragon Queen gave her followers a reassuring smile, "I'm fine, Deathwings... can't defeat me yet." Her tone was a little bitter. In order not to worry Christasa, this was the greatest relief she could show.

"Karen also said that a dead soul stood up when you were in war with Nesario, and the Destroyer called him the Forgotten."

"About this..." Alextasa recalled the last sentence that the undead had said before leaving: I have saved you many times. The Red Dragon Queen was very confused. Apart from dealing with the Scourge, she did not remember that she had contact with the undead creatures, let alone the product of death helped her. Moreover, the undead had not experienced the ordeal of the life's Sworn Bonder. Many times? Have they seen it before?

"...I will investigate, but I was surprised. The mysterious man who saved me, he was dead, I could feel it, but his feat forced me to redefine the undead who was recognized as a monster by the world. Did the Forgotten, once a member of the Scourge? After the Lich King was wiped out, did they regain consciousness, or did their actions atone for themselves?"

At this moment, a smile began to bloom on Christassa's face, as if he had seized the opportunity in despair. "You are such a great queen, the oath-binding person of life. I shouldn't have hidden anything from you, and it shouldn't have been a long time ago, so can we talk about it? Let's talk about the Forgotten."

...

Some terrifying sounds can be heard outside the wilderness of Gilness. Ancient curses have spread throughout this kingdom. Although only more than twenty years have passed, the changes in the times have made the walls that protect this kingdom full of holes.

The dark ranger Veronala understood that in a short time, the sky would turn over and over here. On the ground in front of her, there was a wild beast, and a werewolf who was trying to attack her in the black miasma forest. Veronala inevitably remembered Arugao many years ago. The werewolf summoned by the wizard caused a considerable obstacle to the Forsaken troops who were attacking the Forsaken Army at that time. This beast was summoned to fight against the Scourge. But badly, the werewolf's bloodthirsty nature was not satisfied. After repelling the army of undead, they began to turn their heads to attack the people of Gilness.

The werewolf had been shot and killed. There was a black feathered bow and arrow inserted in its chest. The heat had dissipated from its body, and a pool of blood had been stained dark on the ground.

Today is the full moon night, and there will be wolves howling from time to time in the deep dark miasma forest. There are also some bounty hunters who are not afraid of death, fully armed to search for creatures making this sound, just because of the high reward orders issued by the Kingdom of Gilnis.

Veronara is different. She did not come for money. She carried a powerful magic weapon on her. It was the moon god sickle that played a key role in the offensive and defensive battle of Shadow Teeth Castle. This weapon has always been stored in the castle, and she was able to take it away after the consent of the Withered One.

The Dark Ranger reached out and stroked the hole in the clothes on her shoulder, where there were two tooth marks. Her hands were covered with sticky and blood. The beast ambushed her and almost bit her shoulder. Afterwards, the fear still wandered around her. She felt disgusted. If she was bitten, she might become such a disgusted monster?

As far as she knows, a very important reason why Gilnis' werewolf hidden danger cannot be solved is that people who are scratched by werewolf will be infected with the virus, gradually lose themselves, and eventually become werewolf. This curse will only spread further. It is so vicious that even Veronara feels cruel.

"I really don't know what the King of Gilness thought at the beginning!" Her voice penetrated the leaves, took the bow and arrow from the werewolf's corpse, and after looking at it, she decided to destroy it on the spot.

"Be careful, there seems to be some movement here!" Another voice walked through the forest. Veronara was so scared that she hid in the tree immediately.

"Yes, I heard it too, right here." There was another person. But there was obviously three people who heard the footsteps. The Dark Ranger Elf was waiting. Finally, the person who made the sound came under her nose.

They were obviously Gilness. One of them was carrying a backpack and a hunting rifle in his hand, obviously a hunter. There was also a person's dress similar to him. The last one was the most exquisite and strangest of the three. He wore a high hat and monocle glasses, his collar was pulled high, and he held an umbrella in his hand. This dress seemed to say that he had no idea about the dangers of the Black Miasma Forest at all.

"Look, it's the werewolf's corpse." One of the hunters discovered the werewolf that Veronara killed and began to check.

The werewolf's tongue spit out and hung outside like a pink strap.

"There is still a warmth, I have just died not long ago."

"Find the wound, Mistmanto." The man in the tall hat said to the young hunter.

"As for orders, Baron Goffrey."

Baron? The other party's origin was a surprise to Veronara hiding in the tree. The nobles of Gilness were different from those of other kingdoms. Since Gene Gremaine was a person who was obsessed with the land, he generally would not give titles easily, because that meant that he had to divide the land into another's fiefdom. Therefore, those who had titles were all confidants of the king.

The baron named Golfre suddenly looked up. Veronara shrank back instantly, but she did not show any movement. The man below was just testing whether the "murderer" who killed the werewolf was still here.
