An aura of decay swept over Aurelian.
The streets of the Forgotten Land were filled with a creepy silence, but what made Aurelian feel even more ashamed was the sound in her stomach.
Aurelian shook her head and put the discomfort out of her mind. She focused on looking for danger lurking in the ruins.
The elders had warned her to stay away from the Forgotten Land and the human world. Aurelian had heard legends about the Forgotten Land since she was young.
According to the legends, this place was built by dangerous blasphemers. In pursuit of the truth, these blasphemers had peeped into the 'existence' that they shouldn't have seen, causing the entire city of blasphemers to turn into a monster made of flesh and blood.
When the elders described the monster, they used all the words that Aurelian found disgusting. Aurelian believed that if she met such a monster in reality, she would definitely feel very disgusted. Unfortunately, there was nothing in her stomach that could make her vomit.
"Elder Sister Aurelian, it seems that there have been no signs of life here for a long time."
An Elven inspector swept her hand across the accumulated dust on the ground, but not long after she said this, Aurelian saw footprints on the road not far away.
"Don't talk."
Aurelian raised her hand slightly, signaling the four inspectors behind her to keep quiet.
The footprints on the ground extended all the way to the depths of the Forgotten Land. From the size of the footprints, it seemed to be Ahr's. And there are three other people following him?
Aurelian focused her attention. The excellent hearing of the High Elves allowed her to hear all kinds of noises coming from the depths of the Forgotten Land.
The sound of burning flames and the sound of bubbling liquid intertwined. If Aurelian listened carefully, she could also hear the creepy sound of … chewing!
Could it be that there were monsters living in the Forgotten Land?
Aurelian shivered inexplicably, but she still took up the responsibility of a leader and carefully led the inspection team into the depths of the Forgotten Land.
In less than ten minutes, Aurelian and the inspection team arrived at the end of the Forgotten Land.
There was a huge prototype building in the center of the Forgotten Land, and the streets on both sides of the building extended outwards.
"Sister Aurelia, look over there!"
One of the inspectors noticed that there was something strange about a building on the side of the street. Compared to the other dilapidated buildings on the street, that building was … too clean.
"The sound came from there."
Aurelia's long ears twitched. She could clearly hear the sound of swallowing and chewing.
There were no windows on the front of the building, only a door that had been carefully cleaned. The door was only slightly open, as if deliberately telling Aurelia that the door was not locked.
"Get ready."
Aurelia did not go straight to the door. Instead, she circled around the building to check it out. Through the window on the second floor of the building, she could only vaguely see the lights inside. The view of the lobby on the first floor was blocked by the corridor.
In the end, Aurelia and her team approached the door. Silver inscriptions condensed on her longbow. When Aurelia was ready to open the door, the team behind her was ready to attack.
The sound of chewing and swallowing became clearer and clearer, especially the sound of bones being crushed. Aurelia's body tensed up.
Aurelia exhaled slightly, suddenly opened the door, drew her longbow, and aimed inside!
However, Aurelia didn't see any twisted monsters in the building. Instead … she saw a High Elf devouring the flesh and blood of living creatures.
"Ahr!"
Aurelia looked at the High Elf sitting in the middle of the lobby in shock. The corner of her mouth was full of red and sticky liquid, and there were a lot of plates piled up in her hands.
This should not be the way a High Elf should eat! Could it be that this problem child has been corrupted by a monster?
The scenery inside the building brought Aurelia back from the horrible illusion. The scenery inside the building was so different from the gloomy atmosphere of the Forgotten Land!
The pure white walls were decorated with green leaves and branches, forming a delicate and beautiful pattern. The chandelier on the ceiling emitted an orange light, revealing a strange sense of warmth.
What is this place? Aurelia looked behind her. She was sure that behind her was the gloomy Forgotten Land.
Could this door be some kind of teleportation circle?
A large number of questions engulfed Aurelia. Before she could figure out what was going on, an unfamiliar voice rang in her ear.
"Welcome to the Hearthstone Tavern. How can I help you?"
"The Hearthstone Tavern?"
Aurelia suddenly looked in the direction of the voice. A … human male was standing there with a smile on his face.
"My name is Josiah Yanorod. This is the tavern that I opened." Josiah looked at the four High Elves and introduced himself in a friendly tone.
"Human … Is what the Elder Council said true?"
After Aurelia determined Josiah's identity, she instantly took a step back, pulled the bowstring in her hand, and aimed an arrow at Josiah.
"Miss … You are a customer of this tavern, but that does not mean that you can behave so rudely."
Josh's expression didn't change in the slightest as he stared at the arrow.
"Leave this place! Intruder of Assequero. "
Aurelia gave a stern warning to Josiah.
"Intruder? But your holy tree invited me here, "said Josiah.
"Holy tree?"
"Elder Sister Aurelia, don't be fooled by him."
Another member of the patrol team reminded Aurelia. Aurelia immediately returned to her senses. Without any hesitation, she aimed the arrow at Josiah's leg and released the bowstring.
But just as she was about to aim, her vision suddenly blurred for a second. Then … she missed her target. She missed her target by a ridiculous amount!
The arrow she shot out directly destroyed a round table not far away.
Aurelia held her forehead. She knew that she was weak from hunger, but that did not mean that she would make such a low-level mistake.
She tilted her head and noticed that there was a human standing behind Josiah. The light purple inscription on his hand had just disappeared.
A spell that affected the mind?
No matter what, Aurelia had no intention of stopping her attack. Just as she was about to use force to drive these humans away …
"I still hope that this new tavern will have more customers, but I do not welcome rude customers like you."
Josiah snapped his fingers lightly. This time, Josiah did not attack personally, but Aurelia's movement stopped at that moment.
Frost Elf? Aurelia looked up and saw an elf with silver-white hair on the second floor. This was a characteristic of the Frost Elves, but the elf's pupils were golden, with vertical slits.
The moment Aurelia's eyes met the Frost Elf's, her body froze. The next second, before she could react, a large amount of frost suddenly condensed on the ground, imprisoning her and the other patrol team members.
The frost slowly spread to her entire body. Aurelia wanted to struggle, but it was too late. Except for her head … the rest of her body had already been imprisoned by the ice.
