The two camps were not far apart, and it was only half an hour's walk, but it took Dak a full two hours to go back and forth.

It is not difficult to understand that the parasites are already quite nervous at this time. A relatively safe camp is the best fortress in their hearts. It is not easy to let them, who are afraid, leave the safe camp to face unknown dangers, especially when they know that the place they are going to is the source of the strange event. When the camp where hundreds of people are missing, several people were so scared that they couldn't stand firmly and didn't cry on the spot, even if they had the courage enough.

Fortunately, they also knew that these powerful knights were their only hope. If they wanted to walk out of the wilderness alive, they could only follow the steps of the knights. Therefore, when Dark showed that it doesn't matter whether you follow or not, but who don't follow you now will be abandoned here when you set out to leave the wilderness in the future. In addition, when the four mercenaries hired by his side were also on the other side, the parasites completely lost the courage to fight. The leader McCree took the opportunity to persuade him casually, and the parasites succumbed to fate, left everything in place tremblingly, and only brought their own belongings, and embarked on an unknown journey with the impatient knights who had been waiting for.

It took an hour to walk the usual half-hour journey. The closer they got to the caravan camp that appeared in the distance, the slower these parasites walked. Many of them had their eyes wet, holding the things of faith they carried with them, praying in a low voice, praying that the gods could save them from danger. For a moment, the team was filled with despair and sadness. If the ignorant person saw it, he would have mistakenly thought that this was a scene of a cruel soldier escorting innocent civilians to the execution ground.

Of course, the gods were too lazy to pay attention to these believers who scared themselves. Even if these parasites were reluctant, they could only watch the terrifying missing camp magnify little by little in their eyes, the distance was getting closer and closer, and they could even see a man and a woman sitting on a table in the camp playing cards boredly.

"This guy..." Dake felt the blood vessels on his forehead beating violently, and he didn't think about it at all if he was present, so he would definitely join in. He shouted loudly, "Let me run so far, I thought you had something serious about it, but it turned out to be playing cards here?"

"It's the most serious thing to guard the camp, and..." Shuer said with his eyes raised his eyebrows, "And this is what you are paying attention to?"

Of course not. The key question is, why do you sit on the table and agree not to touch anything in the camp?

"What's going on with the table?"

"Don't worry, this is taken out from the corner. Ma Lian and the others have never been there, and it has nothing to do with their disappearance." Xiuer said lightly, "It's also a test, well, while you haven't come."

Needless to say, Sul's meaning is already very obvious. If you don't come, I won't involve Lisa when I do the test. No matter what the test results are, Lisa will always be safe. And... I touch the letter paper in my pocket, and when doing the test, it is folded and placed at the camp gate. Even if I fall into danger because of the test, Lisa can walk out of the wilderness smoothly.

"Brother!" Lisa came out of the carriage. In the past two days, the girl had been doing her best job, comforting the hearts of the people in the team, and she didn't even have time to stay by her brother. Now she finally had another chance. Even though she knew that hundreds of people had just disappeared here not long ago, the girl didn't care. She threw herself over to Shuer with a smile, "Wow, brother, your card is really bad. Isn't you going to lose soon?"

"Cough cough." After a moment of embarrassment, Shuer stuffed the cards into the girl's hands, pretending not to see the girl's angry eyes, looked at the parasite team among the knights as if nothing had happened, and curled his lips, "It's really slow."

"You can even take out your cards, what else do you have with you?"

"The Lord said that even in heavy work, don't forget to use entertainment to adjust your mental state. It is a virtue to carry entertainment props with you."

Talina and her two children glared at each other, Lord Priest, you have tampered with the oracle again. No, this is no longer tampered with, but made up unscrupulously!

"Isn't you really ready to play cards in the tavern and use cheating methods to cheat a few gold coins?"

"Tsk, that's better than carrying a sheep intestinal membrane with you. When you see a beautiful girl who feels good, you will hold the sheep intestinal membrane and go to chat with her."

The fierce eyes meet in the air, this is the most sacred cause in my heart. I will never tolerate slander from others. Let’s fight for justice.

"Brother, brother, what is the sheep intestinal membrane?" Lisa's puzzled voice broke the tense atmosphere between the two idiots.

"Uh, this, it's better not to know good kids." Only to Lisa, Shul didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said loudly with his eyes wandering, "It's all here, right?"

"Hehe", laughed a few times behind my brother's back. The great Lord Lisa secretly made a vulgar gesture to Dark while Shure couldn't see it. As soon as the gesture was made, she felt very indecent. She hid on her brother's back shyly, blushing and daring to show her head.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, the lightless moon will always protect you." Ignoring Dark with a collapsed worldview and Lisa who was shy and blushing, Shul returned to her original holy posture, spread her hands on both sides of her body, and said to the parasites as if she was open to her arms, "In the name of Shul Wright, I promise you that as long as you obey the orders and don't move at will, everyone will not be hurt here."

"This guy is lying seriously again." Dark secretly mocked himself, "In his own name, tsk tsk tsk."

Dak knew the nature of Sul, but the parasites were unaware of it. In their eyes, a priest who acted gracefully and calmly and exuded divine light all over his body made a promise to everyone in his own name, which was second only to the solemnity of making promises in the name of the gods. Invisibly, the hearts of these lower-class civilians have slowly relaxed, and of course, what is more important is his next sentence.

"If nothing unexpected happens, today, well, just today, you will see those missing people. At the latest tomorrow, everyone can set off."

Before he finished speaking, a whisper broke out in the crowd. This was the best news. Parasites were dreaming that they were looking forward to hearing this sentence.

"Hmm? Have you figured it out completely?" Dark naturally thought much more than those people. He was not as excited as the parasites, but instead frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How are you going to get them back?"

"Finish it? No, no, I don't plan to find them." Shure's tone was full of mockery, not of others, but of himself. "You may have misunderstood one thing. They actually don't need us to rescue them at all. Why do we need us to rescue them? That's because we put ourselves in a strong position from the beginning and always believed that we should be rescuers. However, what if we are not rescuers in this story? What if the person who really needs rescuers is actually ourselves?"

"What does it mean?" As a knight and a mercenary, Dark was originally straightforward and didn't like these things that were too many, so he asked directly, "What the hell is going on?"

"I told you just now that they are safe and nothing happened." Shuer did not directly answer Dark's question, and changed the topic, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Actually, I didn't understand like you until this morning, but now I understand."

Not only Dark, but also the knights who had direct connections, all the people around him who could hear the conversation, including the people in the Dark Moon Temple and the leaders of the two parasites, all raised their ears and waited for Shure's explanation.

"Last night, I repeatedly thought about what we had encountered in the past two days, and I always felt something was wrong." Shuer did not disappoint everyone and explained slowly, "It was not right from the beginning."

"The situation we encountered seemed very simple. The caravan was swallowed by the ghost space first, and then the next day, Ma Lian and the others followed the caravan's footsteps. However, recalling all the cases of ghost space that I can remember, none of them mentioned that after a period of time, ghost space can still devour life. Of course, this may be because there are no past cases like ours this time, and someone went to investigate so quickly, but this is just maybe. Judging from the data alone, the outbreak of ghost space is often just a moment, and all the victims were sucked in that moment, and never had an example of being sucked in again afterwards."

"For example, the monsters that should appear around you did not appear. You can use the natural sensitivity of the monsters to explain, but what about the sky? Yesterday and today, who have seen birds in the sky? No, neither of me."

"There are many similar contradictions, and I can't figure out why, until I remembered a story from my hometown."

"That is the legend passed down from the last civilization era. It is a fable. Not many people know it, but I always find it very interesting."

"The protagonist of the story is a scholar, a philosopher. One day he had a dream, dreaming that he turned into a butterfly and flew among the flowers. In the dream, he broke free from the constraints of his body and identity, and flew freely and unrestrainedly. The whole dream made him feel unprecedented happiness."
