Chapter 394: Thick fog

Zalanda couldn't help but explain: "This is why I have been preventing you from having a conflict with Master Luo Ang. He is the only bloodline of Master Tessen."

Hearing what Zalanda said, Gavin, who had no psychological burden for plotting to kill Luo Ang, felt a little guilty.

Not to Rohan, but to old Baron Theson. He was not a good father, but a good partner - at least to his mother. From beginning to end, he lived up to her trust.

Now that everyone knows it and talks about it.

Gavin asked directly to the end: "I have never understood one thing. My father is obviously a powerful extraordinary warrior. Why did he raise his two sons like pigs? Especially Luo Ang, who has become what he is now. It seems that he has an unshirkable responsibility.”

Although the blood connection is no longer there, the grace of upbringing remains, and Gavin has no intention of changing his tune.

"I have never understood this matter. I once asked my father, and he only replied that it is good to be an incompetent noble master. At least he does not need to face dangers beyond common sense." Zalanda said half Guessed, "I think this may be related to their original adventure experience. Maybe during the adventure, they encountered things that they could not solve with their own abilities, thus questioning their own abilities and even the entire world. This is There is a special name for the disease that many adventurers and mercenaries have, called Ability Despair Syndrome, which causes many adventurers and mercenaries to retire early, and many even refuse to use their professional abilities throughout their lives. "

Ability despair was mentioned.

Gavin couldn't help but think of the Arcane Tribulation.

In the face of that devastating catastrophe, let alone ordinary people, even legendary strong men could not help but feel fear. What followed was deep despair, making the parties involved doubt and doubt their abilities. Can I gain the ability to defeat it in my lifetime?

In addition, such existences are not uncommon in Faerûn, and Gavin can count them all - ancient evils, gods, demon lords, ancient dragons, etc.

If you think carefully about old Baron Theson's behavior and this disease, it really fits the bill.

Gavin couldn't help but throw out a more bold speculation: "When my father led the troops deep into the Marching Mountains, it was not just to wipe out the monster tribes there. Is there a hidden secret that we don't know about? It is related to this series of things. ?”

"It's not impossible." Zalanda thought about it carefully and nodded. "Master Tessen's expedition was very unusual. Although his temper was a little rough, he was not the kind of reckless person who knew no sense of proportion. , before leaving for the expedition, I once advised him, and he once yelled a few words out of control. "

"What did you yell about?" Gavin asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, let me think about it, it's been a long time." Zalanda began to search her memory. Although she did not have trance or spiritual suggestion, she had extraordinary memories, even those from the past were still valid.

Within a few seconds, Zalanda's eyes lit up, "I remembered, he yelled that this was their fate, and he had to end everything himself. Originally, I thought he was talking about protecting Fort Nott. Now it seems that things are not that simple.”

"They got into a lot of trouble when they were in the adventure group. Even if their adventure group disbanded, they still followed them like a shadow." Gavin said in a very affirmative tone, "What my father said To end everything personally does not necessarily mean killing the other party, but being killed by the other party, because only in this way can we cut off the cause and effect and prevent this incident from affecting the family. If I guessed correctly, Uncle Carl is not normal either. die."

Uncle Carl is Zalanda's father, the former garrison captain of Fort Nott, and also a super warrior.

A supernatural warrior, who was in the prime of his life without any illness or disaster, suddenly died in his sleep.

I had never thought about it before, it seemed a bit natural.

If you think about it carefully, it becomes more suspicious.

The biggest question is not here.

But in old Baron Theson, who was still alive at that time.

It's not like he doesn't have connections and resources, but he hasn't resurrected his defense captain, the partners he grew up with, or his former adventure team mates.

Isn't this the biggest question?

It's not that he doesn't want to be resurrected, it's that he can't be resurrected.

Zalanda's face also became a little ugly. She obviously thought of what Gavin thought of.

There are many reasons why resurrection is not possible.

Those who die of old age and infirmity cannot be resurrected.

Those whose souls are reincarnated and reborn cannot be resurrected.

The soul that has dissipated cannot be resurrected.

Zalanda originally thought it was the second type, but now it has become an unknown number.

Zalanda's expression became serious, and she made up her mind and said, "I want to go back to Fort Nott."

"No." Gavin said seriously, "I don't allow you to do this."

"That's fine if I don't know. Now that I know there is something wrong with their death, I can't just sit back and ignore it." Zalanda also looked serious.

"It's not that I won't let you investigate this matter, but at the very least, we have to wait until we have enough capabilities." Gavin patiently explained, "Let a transcendent adventure group disband, and the members will disappear and die one after another, and in the end even It can force an extraordinary warrior to cut off all connections through death.

Do you think it is a small thing?

What should you do when you get to the end and find that you need to face an evil god or legendary being?

Don't forget, you are not alone now.

There is a group of people following you, and they need you to find a way out for them.

You are Zalanda of Darauma first, and then yourself. Don’t let down their efforts. "

This matter was completely beyond Gavin's prediction.

Everything belongs to unknown territory.

This is the scariest thing, because you have no idea who the enemy is.

In other words, what is the enemy?

Judging from the status of these people, Gavin came up with a not-so-good guess.

They were definitely not as simple as encountering ordinary legendary monsters.

It's more like the kind of scary evil thing that contains mental shock and pollution.

This kind of existence is the most difficult to deal with.

Even a legendary strongman will get into trouble if he is not careful when dealing with such a being.

Gavin would never dig into such a thing if it was not necessary.

But the problem is that he can stay awake in the world, but Zalanda may not. This is a matter involving close relatives, and he cannot be completely rational.

The only thing Gavin can do now is to use Zalanda's sense of responsibility to delay the matter, preferably until they have the strength to be legendary or above.

By that time, their power will basically be established, and their ability to withstand losses will become higher. At worst, they can also recruit reinforcements from other places.

People are divided into groups and things are flocked together.

Ordinary people definitely hang out with ordinary people.

The extraordinary majority communicates with the extraordinary.

And those who frequently come and go with legends are mostly legends.

This kind of hierarchical circle is different from the hierarchy. It is not divided consciously by people, but because of the things they need to face.

"How come I didn't realize the problem here before?" Zalanda couldn't help but stamp her feet, with unconcealable self-blame in her words.

Gavin's persuasion worked. Even if she didn't care about her own life, she couldn't care less about the people who chose to follow her.

"Sister, there's no need to blame yourself. Different strengths lead to different perspectives on things. If you were to tell me these things in Fort Nott, we might not be able to speculate as we do now."

Gavin said with relief, "Sooner or later, we will get to the bottom of this matter, but not now. I feel that this matter is very evil. It either involves an evil god or an evil thing, especially the latter. This kind of evil thing If you don't take the initiative to track it down or touch it, no matter how powerful it is, it might not become a threat. But if you keep studying it in depth, it will get closer and closer to you until it engulfs you, sister. "Listen to my advice. Don't touch this matter in the short term. Even if you want to touch it, you must discuss it with me."

He didn't care about worrying about who his biological father was, and gave Zalanda countless instructions.

"I know, I'm not a teenager who does anything just because my head is hot." Zalanda was a little uncomfortable with Gavin's mother-in-law.

"You swear?" Gavin was still worried.

"I swear." Zalanda solemnly promised.

"A complete vow."

"Why are you acting so mother-in-law today?"

"If you don't swear, today will not be in the past."

"Okay, I swear that I will never return to Fort Nott without discussing it with Master Gavin, let alone investigate the real cause of Master Teson's death. Do you think this is okay?"

"And Uncle Carl's."

"Including the cause of my father's death."

"Okay." Although Gavin nodded with satisfaction, he secretly made up his mind to tell Nora to keep an eye on Zalanda when he has time, "The news you gave me today is too exciting, I still have to digest it well. Digestion, by the way, do you know what kind of half-giant blood is in Nora’s body?”

"Stormy half-giant, she has a strong affinity for thunder and lightning. You have to take her with you on this trip to Mir Forest." This time it was Zalanda's turn to turn around and tell Gavin, "When the time comes, you can do what you can." Okay, it’s best to establish a relationship. If it fails, we won’t lose much. We will find another way when the time comes.”

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart, and I won't act recklessly." Gavin promised.

Thinking about how Gavin had just tried to dissuade her, Zalanda didn't say anything more.

Gavin is now in his early stages of development. A young red dragon in peak condition was knocked down from the sky by him. Anyone who can pose a threat to him, unless it is the legendary strongman or monster, can still escape at the worst.

"I almost forgot something important. Well, this set of magic equipment is for Miss Luna." Zalanda took out a set of horseshoes and handed them to Gavin.

"Accelerating horseshoes." Gavin couldn't hide the joy in his expression, "I'm just looking for this kind of magic equipment. Is it a basic one? An intermediate one? Or an advanced one?"

Speeding horseshoes, just like its name.

It has only one function, which is to provide speed blessing for the equipped mount.

This kind of magic equipment is divided into several levels according to the different speed blessings it provides.

The lowest accelerating horseshoe can provide a mount with a speed bonus of 2 km/h.

For each higher level, the speed bonus will be doubled on this basis, with 4 km/h at the intermediate level and 6 km/h at the advanced level.

Tethyr is an out-and-out country of knights, so this kind of magic equipment is naturally easier to find than in the valley.

"Of course it's high-level. How can I be so embarrassed to show off the low-level ones? But this kind of horseshoe is prepared for war horses. I don't know if it will help Miss Luna's flight."

Gavin took the accelerating horseshoe from Zalanda without hesitation, and equipped it on the half-moon colt, saying: "This is not simple. You will know after trying it. I think it should be fine. The accelerating horseshoe mainly accelerates by reducing weight through suspension and wind propulsion. It is also helpful for flying."

As a magic equipment, the accelerating horseshoe does not need the assistance of a blacksmith to nail it to the horseshoe. It can be automatically equipped by synchronizing it like other magic equipment.
